Spelling as a source of information about children's linguistic knowledge
Two studies of English speakers' understanding of the English spelling system are discussed. The first study is Groat's (1979) investigation of seven-year-old children's ability to assign stress appropriately to two-syllable nonsense words embedded in otherwise normal sentences. This work is compared with an earlier study of university students' performance on a similar task (Smith & Baker, 1976) and suggests that seven-year-olds are as sophistic…

Two studies of stress assignment rules are reported. In both studies speakers found to base their pronunciations partly on general rules and partly on comparisons with particular English words: word length, syntactic category and position of primary stress all influenced performance. In the second study, the distinctions between pronounced polysyllabic nonsense words, and similarity to real English words, as well as phonemic and syntactic structu…
